A vigorous, high-yielding Maincrop with exceptional resistance to late blight. Sarpo Mira produces large red-skinned tubers with floury, high-dry-matter flesh, ideal for baking, roasting, mashing and chips.
Please note: We are not Soil Association approved.
Sarpo Mira seed potatoes are the most blight resistant potato variety available in the UK and tubers have a dry, floury texture which are best suited to roasting and chipping. Trials have found good resistance to blackleg, late blight on foliage, late blight on tubers and potato virus
SOIL PREPARATION:
Choose a place in the garden which has not been used to grow garlic, onions, shallots or leeks for at least two years. The soil should be open, well drained and not have been manured for at least one year.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Each potato should be 25cm from the next, with rows spaced 60cm apart. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards. Drills should be 15cm deep.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Water well in dry spells.
HARVESTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Harvest June-July. Dig up mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry and dark location. Potatoes can be stored for several months. Tip: when harvesting, remove all foliage and small potatoes from the soil and discard, to avoid diseases on next year’s crop.
Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place until planting. Keep free from frost.
